DESCRIPTION:This talk will reflect on key themes from the recently publish
 ed edited volume Lahore in Motion: Infrastructure\, History and Belonging 
 in Urban Pakistan (UCL Press\, 2025). This collaborative portrait of a maj
 or South Asian metropolis is organised around the path of Pakistan’s fir
 st\, mass transit metro rail corridor: the 27-km long Orange Line\, opened
  in 2020. The editors will discuss the frictions generated by the construc
 tion of this major piece of transport infrastructure. But they will also t
 race the new geographies opened by the metro as well as its integration in
 to the wider flows of everyday life in Lahore. Reflecting on the different
  modes of transportation - walking\, rail and road travel as well private 
 and public conveyances - the talk will focus on gender and class hierarchi
 es in how Lahore is accessed and experienced. It will highlight the politi
 cs and challenges surrounding equitable transport provision. \nSpeakers:\n
 Dr Chris Moffat (Queen Mary University of London)\, Dr Ammara Maqsood (UCL
 )\, Fizzah Sajjad (The London School of Economics and Poltical Science)
